I hear you about enjoying the Oxides more! I do use some regular Distress along with the Oxides occasionally, to get a translucent look on top of the more painterly, opaque Oxides. I didn't think that up; the instructor in my Oxide class had us do that with one of our cards and it was kind of lovely.
As for storage, I apologize for repeating, but in case it will help someone who doesn't want to wade through the entire thread, a Ranger rep wrote this in an email:
"Distress Oxide Ink Pads should be stored flat. Since the formula contains pigment, storing the pads on the sides may result in drawing the ink to the edge of the pad.
Original Distress Ink Pads can be stored flat or on the sides. If storing these pads on the side, just be sure there is no space for the lid to open."
The're pretty quick at answering questions.

Store sponges.
